Scientists have taken the first step towards creating artificial sperm in a lab.
A study, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, details how precursor cells were created using stem cells from humans and monkey.
Science website MedicalXpress explains, “The researchers started with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from humans and rhesus macaques, which are blank-slate cells that can be programmed to become almost any cell type. By exposing them to specific chemical signals, the researchers transformed them into primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs), which are lab-grown versions of the earliest embryonic cells that eventually develop into germline cells, in this case sperm cells.
